EXPERIENCE SANTA MONICA BAY

As partners in promoting community education, Heal the Bay’s Santa Monica Pier Aquarium and Cirque du Soleil invite the public to visit the Aquarium for free any Sunday in February.

Cirque du Soleil is sponsoring free admission to our marine science center during public hours, from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m.

The internationally known circus is performing its ode to the insect “OVO”, under the Grand Chapiteau in the parking lot adjacent to the Aquarium and the Santa Monica Pier. OVO is described as “immersion into the teeming world of insects;” Aquarium visitors will be immersed in the underwater world, gaining knowledge about the creatures of the Santa Monica Bay through hands-on, interactive exhibits of more than 100 species native to the Bay.

Cirque du Soleil's free Sundays at the Aquarium will spotlight and celebrate crustaceans – the ocean’s counterpart to land-based insects – and as always, visit and get inspired to become an environmental steward and help us protect our Bay's marine life.
